    Gaddafi was a supervillian. Almost literally:

    .

    It also wasn’t NATO who directly killed him. His own citizens did, and they weren’t kind about how they did it.

    NATO also wants stable oil reserves. Both these things can be true.

          No. He might get assassinated by an individual or a small group of conspirators. He won’t get paraded through the streets while being raped with a sword until he dies. But nice try.

            It’s weird that some random German thinks they know what American hillbillies are capable of or actively talk about doing when their memory doesn’t even go back more than three years and they have literally zero knowledge of history or the nature of angry mobs.

            Oh, no, wait, that’s not weird, I always forget some people are just average.

                I removed it because it was an unnecessary insult on the other person’s intelligence. If you feel like restoring it 2 weeks later, that’s fine by me.

                Oh, no, wait, that’s not weird, I always forget some people are just average.

                That’s why it was removed.

                  I’d prefer it if you lot don’t touch this community. I’ve asked all of you multiple times not to, and you keep doing it.

                    This community is on my server. I have a responsibility to moderate it.

                    I will continue to try to let you handle the moderation here as much as possible, but that’s a courtesy that I’m extending to you. The community is not independent from the server, and you will have to live with the fact that admins can and will remove content that they deem in violation of instance rules.

                    I think we are doing a good job of being hands-off. This community seems to be doing well. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
